Motorcycle accidents can lead to severe physical trauma or even fatality, as motorcycles lack the protective body that cars provide. Because of this, motorcyclists are especially vulnerable on the road, and injuries from such accidents are often serious.
Unlike other motor vehicle accidents in Florida, motorcycles are not covered under the state's "no-fault" insurance laws, which only apply to vehicles with four or more wheels. This means motorcyclists cannot rely on Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage to handle medical expenses. To recover compensation, motorcyclists must explore other legal options.
In motorcycle accident cases, the defense often raises comparative negligence, arguing that the rider's actions—such as not wearing a helmet—contributed to their injuries.

Given the high number of uninsured drivers in Florida, uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM) coverage is particularly important for motorcyclists. This coverage can help provide compensation if the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance or has no insurance at all.
If you've been involved in a motorcycle accident, William John DiPetrillo & Associates is here to help you get the medical care you need and fight for maximum compensation.
